OK, fine, I like it too, and Rosenthal's helpfulness makes it stand
way above other software.  But, I had some strange things going on
(files not finding the right applications on the first try, etc., you
know that sort of event, I'm sure) so I decided to remove SpaceSaver
to see if it was (partly) responsible.  Well, it said I could remove
it but than I'd be unable to use compressed files.  So I looked in the
manual, but couldn't find how to expand all files and remove
Spacesaver before it compressed anything in the meantime.  Anyone know
how?
